Valentine\u2019s Day is here, and in Highland Park, that means Delicias Bakery & Some<\/a> is transforming from a family-owned panader\u00eda into an intimate evening restaurant for the weekend.<\/p>\n

This is the second year Delicias will host a Valentine\u2019s event as part of its \u201cMoodnight\u201d series.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers are family, and we wanted to create a safe, welcoming place for people to gather at night, unwind, and enjoy fellowship, great food and music,\u201d Matthew Rivera, an event organizer and Delicias\u2019 business partner, told The LA Local.<\/p>\n

Delicias has been operating since 1991, offering Mexican recipes from pan dulce and breakfast burritos to aguas frescas and coffee.<\/p>\n

It is run by sisters Emily and Roxanne Sanchez. Delicias began hosting evening events in partnership with FAMI Goods in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoodnight\u201d transforms the bakery into a social hub for the Northeast Los Angeles community.<\/p>\n

The first event is Friday, Feb. 13, for Galentine\u2019s Day<\/a>, when Delicias will host \u201cLovers x Friends,\u201d an after-hours dinner featuring house-made pizzas for two and music inspired by Outkast\u2019s The Love Below.<\/p>\n

Rivera called it \u201ca celebratory event for friendship, filled with high energy and an upbeat atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Feb. 14, Delicias is splitting Valentine\u2019s Day into two events.<\/p>\n

During the day, there will be bouquets and portraits, along with brunch featuring chilaquiles and raspberry compote waffles.<\/p>\n

At night, the bakery will offer a candlelit dinner with specialty pizzas and a caf\u00e9 de olla brownie sundae for dessert.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoodnight transitions into a more intimate, sultry atmosphere with R&B jams playing throughout the night,\u201d Anisha Sisodia, Delicias\u2019 creative director said.<\/p>\n

Heart-shaped conchas will also be available for takeout over the weekend. \u201c[It\u2019s] a glimpse of what Moodnight will continue to bring to the community throughout the year,\u201d Sisodia added.<\/p>\n
